Sweden’s agriculture industry has faced many challenges in recent years. Among the most severe challenges are the decrease in the number of small and medium-sized farms, the decrease in the number of people employed in agricultural activities, and the increase in governmental regulations and legislation governing such activities. At the same time, the demand that agriculture contributes to sustainable social and ecological development has increased. Although research shows that sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) contributes to the creation of sustainable businesses and to the development of a sustainable society, Swedish agriculture has not been at the forefront in the use of SBMI. The purpose of this paper is to examine the barriers to SBMI in Swedish agriculture in order to understand why farmers seldom engage in SBMI. This qualitative study follows the Gioia methodology and data for the analysis were acquired in semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs at six family farms in Sweden. The paper makes a theoretical contribution to the research on SBMI with its focus on sustainable entrepreneurship in the Swedish agricultural industry. The paper concludes that the barriers to SBMI are external, internal, and contextual.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the research is to assess whether the young generation in Poland has the potential to build sustainable companies by evaluating the attitudes of university students towards sustainable entrepreneurship.. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The readiness to create a sustainable enterprise was assessed on the basis of self-assessment of pro-social attitudes, business intentions and knowledge of social and environmental aspects in business with the use of multidimensional analysis based on machine learning methods. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: A significant challenge for policymakers, scientists and entrepreneurs is solving important social and environmental problems through the development of sustainable entrepreneurship. The implementation of this concept requires efforts to educate and shape pro-social attitudes, especially among the young generation. Therefore, the research focuses on identifying and assessing the attitudes and awareness level of pro-social aspects in business and recognition of entrepreneurial intentions among representatives of this generation. RESEARCH RESULTS: The research results show that young people have an intuitive sense of what sustainable business is all about, but the formal knowledge in this area is low. Financial aspects, i.e. the possibility of obtaining significant income from own business, as well as independence and the possibility of being a manager, turned out to be much more motivating for entrepreneurship than the possibility of changing the world for the better, helping local communities or protecting the environment. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The innovative approach to multidimensional data analysis highlighted the lack of knowledge and insufficient level of pro-social attitudes among the young generation, which is a particularly worrying phenomenon in the context of formulated challenges and social and environmental needs.

Research background: The observable discrepancies in entrepreneurship activity across countries have motivated both researchers and policymakers to comprehend the sources of these variations. Certain scholars have suggested that the answer to this empirical puzzle lies in the macrolevel processes that influence entrepreneurial endeavours. Purpose of the article: As the understanding of macrolevel processes that shape entrepreneurial behaviour is limited, this research aims to answer how institutions and the economic context influence entrepreneurial value creation choices (i.e., for-profit, non-profit, and mixed). Methods: Using a cross-country sample of 7,891 entrepreneurs in 58 countries, we employ a multilevel ordered probit to evaluate a novel conceptual framework. Our analysis models the direct impact of the regulative framework, the normative pillar, and the cultural pillar, alongside the moderating influence of income inequality and economic uncertainty on value creation choices. Findings & value added: Our findings show that the regulative framework has a positive marginal effect on for-profit and mixed-value creation, but a negative effect on non-profit value creation. Meanwhile, the normative pillar has a negative marginal effect on for-profit and mixed-value creation, but a positive effect on non-profit value creation. The cultural pillar has a negative marginal effect on for-profit and mixed-value creation, but a positive effect on non-profit value creation. Furthermore, income inequality moderates positive the relationship between normative pillar and for-profit and mixed-value creation, while economic uncertainty moderates negative the relationship between normative pillar and for-profit and mixed-value creation. Our research contributes to the literature by providing a nuanced understanding of how institutional pillars can act as drivers or barriers for different entrepreneurial forms, evidence of how uncertainty interacts with institutional forces to shape value creation decisions, and insights into the distinctive attributes of different entrepreneurial forms. Our findings have implications for public policy development.

Proekologiczna i prospołeczna działalność może pomóc firmom dokonać skutecznego przejścia w kierunku zrównoważonego rozwoju. Szczególnie w ostatnim czasie zauważa się coraz większe zainteresowanie przedsiębiorstw, aby rozwijać firmy zgodnie z zasadami proekologicznymi, uwzględniającymi zarówno korzyści ekonomiczne, jak i społeczne. Rozwój przedsiębiorstw z uwzględnieniem tych aspektów jest ważny z uwagi na ich wpływ na środowisko i społeczeństwo, gdyż przyczyniają się one do kreowania i wdrażania nowych, bardziej zrównoważonych modeli produkcji i konsumpcji, a także do uwzględniania interesów społecznych i aspektów środowiskowych. Koncepcja badawcza została przeprowadzona na podstawie metody analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa oraz analizy danych zastanych.

The increasing importance of environmental issues and sustainable development contributes to the development of new trends at the company level. Sustainable development is seen as a source of entrepreneurial opportunities, which are used to solve social and environmental problems. The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of entrepreneurship in the context of sustainable development and to synthesise the main research approaches in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship. Ecological and social-oriented activities can help companies properly assess potential efforts and make a successful transition towards sustainable development. Recently, there has been an increasing interest of enterprises in developing in accordance with pro-ecological principles, taking into account economic benefits, as well as social benefits. Moreover, the development of enterprises in this field is important because of their impact on the environment and society, as they contribute to the creation and implementation of new, more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Moreover, the interests of social and environmental aspects are taken into account. The research concept was based on the method of analysis and critique of the literature, as well as the analysis based on secondary data.
